I love this photo from Magnolia Forest Preschool] in Washington State. Not everyone would be ok with this kind of play, but what an enriching experience it is for this child. Offering new exploration of natural environment after rain. Endless ideas can unfold in this muddy place.

Material Monday. Some of the best materials for young children are simple found materials, like leftover ribbon. These materials allow for open-ended exploration. Play is valuable and children are always learning. Do you know about loose parts or open-ended materials? Want to know more. Sign up for one of our classes! Also, be sure to properly clean any found materials before giving them to your child and never leave your child unattended.

Is play valued in your home or school?
There is so much talk around the importance of play for young children. As an early childhood educator we are often explaining the benefits of play to families. It assists in many areas of child development; cognition, creativity, physical movement, and social emotional growth to name a few. Play is so important that The United Nations has even recognized it as part of a child’s human right.
Some of the best play is child driven, meaning it follows a child’s ideas and or plans. It does not always mean having the best toys, play can be simple with found items, like water and sand or a cardboard box.
Want to learn more about play with children, its importance and how to deepen children’s learning through play? Join us for one of our upcoming classes.
